I'm doing some background reading, prepping to teach 'Lot49' again, and I
decided to delve into the  Alec McHoul and David Wills book, 'Writing
Pynchon: Strategies in Fictional Analysis' (1990).  I'm up on the usual
suspects-- Tanner, Kermode, etc.-- from having worked with the novel a decade
ago, so I wanted to tackle something more recent.
But I'm not sure what I think of this deconstruction of 'Lot49': does anyone
out there have an opinion about their take on TRP?

Salivating, for the pie and for the novel--
Steve Klinge
